Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our school is in a suburban area that has a minority of
Hispanic, a small percent of Asian, White, and Black with a socioeconomic status from mostly middle class to lower middle class.
Nearly all our students are from low‑income households, are English Learners, and some have special needs.
My students are wonderful despite these factors. They give their best in every challenge and keep their spirits high. They might not be academically gifted, but they are hardworking and striving to improve and to grow personally and academically. They are enthusiastic and ready to learn new things.
With your help, I would like to give my students items that are fundamental to the student’s health and well-being.
My Project
Lend a hand, give a can is a project that is designed to request essentials that my students need in and out of the classroom. It is not tied to any classroom lessons or specific learning objectives, but instead it will make my students come to school at their healthiest and happiest selves.
Living on a low income can bring a lot of stress to students such as inadequate nutrition and food insecurity, lack of basic services, substandard housing, and inadequate child care that adversely impact their physical and mental health.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
